Whilst we're discussing it, is there any chance that you would move to Codeberg for it instead? Considering there are a bunch of bad things both ethical and technical about using github nowadays including their agreements with ICE (which are the ones deporting people) and microsoft's support of the genocide in Palestine. Plus they steal code constantly with Copilot and probably allow others to do the same with their own LLMs.
Thanks for reading this, even if you choose to do nothing, and thank you for making such an awesome project!
For an average user how good is calling on XMPP and Matrix on any given server? We've only seen matrix.org have successful calling and we've never had success with XMPP calling nor joining groups on it. No idea what prose is.
Sad that it is being replaced by the much worse Teams and there isn't much to replace it in the open source world except for Signal, Threema, Wire and maybe Jitsi meet.
Yep, all except for two: Crumpet and our Bank app. We can be pretty sure of this as we run CalyxOS and we have too many apps to list otherwise as everything on our 'dock' is in folders.
Yeah. I never really got into pokémon as I didn't like the idea of capturing creatures and forcing them to fight, but Cassette Beasts doesn't have that problem. Oh yeah, good point about them being doubles. I do like the aesthetic/graphics and that it's avaliable on every platform, unlike pokémon.
Yeah, sadly the problem with most unions is they do not go far enough, as the end goal of any union should be to take over the company and make it a worker-owned, or other type of, co-op.
Sadly like the pieces of text you pulled from the article says they have been defanged before they ever had a chance. This saddens me and we need unions that are willing to do more, that are less hierarchical (I have heard some awful stories of union 'leaders' agreeing to things which were not in the worker's interests or just being telling them not to undertake certain actions).
Unions need to be truly radical if they're going to actually stand a chance, they need to ignore and subvert power and even the law.
We think Minds tried something like this (though it might be different tiers) and it didn't exactly go well, forcing users to pay one way or the other always leads to economic pressures to keep users around, even if they are being toxic at least from what we have observed.
clashing with their users' need to stay isolated from users who are toxic to them.
Sadly Lemmy does not solve this problem as the creators think like a corporation or do not want to be fully cut off from other users and thus do not have proper blocking (which is something built into ActivityPub mind you), for now it is only one way blocking which does not solve being isolated from toxic users as it still allows for some toxic behaviour etc.
If Lemmy ever gets that feature it would actually prove that it is dedicated to user safety, but a lot of people in the open source social media world seem to be 'concerned' with not being able to see everything due to entitlement, as others unrelated to Lemmy also are lacking the same or similar features.
Yes, I meant more long term but didn't express that fully. So you are correct, corporate social media will go that way eventually unless they do the things we recommended.
That's awful! We hope that person gets the help he needs whilst being kept away from the ability to harm.
